Penang Hill Canopy Walk

Penang Hill Canopy Walk (5 March 2005)


The Penang Hill Canopy Walk is the now abandoned 150-meter long walking suspended from the tall trees in Penang Hill. It was opened in 2003 and was operational for just a few months before it was closed for repairs. From then on, it was opened and closed without much announcement. Part of the reasons why the canopy walk closed down was that it failed to attract sufficient customers. Also, the neighboring houses consider the canopy walk an intrusion on their privacy.

What to see and do

As the canopy walk is no longer in operation, one cannot walk on it for now. But one can still view it if making a walk around Penang Hill.

About this website

Dear visitor, thank you so much for reading this page. My name is Timothy Tye and my hobby is to find out about places, write about them and share the information with you on this website. I have been writing this site since 5 January 2003. Originally (from 2003 until 2009, the site was called AsiaExplorers. I changed the name to Penang Travel Tips in 2009, even though I describe more than just Penang but everywhere I go (I often need to tell people that "Penang Travel Tips" is not just information about Penang, but information written in Penang), especially places in Malaysia and Singapore, and in all the years since 2003, I have described over 20,000 places.

While I try my best to provide you information as accurate as I can get it to be, I do apologize for any errors and for outdated information which I am unaware. Nevertheless, I hope that what I have described here will be useful to you.
